Re: first burns
What settings did you use on those pics? Speed, power, dithering algorithm?

Re: first burns

Re: first burns
It looks very good Robert. Dithering the image makes sure it's only 1bit Black & White so it does not have any gray shades. You then set the min at 0 and max at 255 so it either burns at full power or not at all.
Re: first burns
So how long did it take to engrave?
